- Some schools give pupils tests regularly to check their progress. The school-leaving exams are held in May/June. In England, these are called GCSEs (age 16) and A-levels (age 18). In some schools, collages and universities, instead of tests and exams there is a continuous assessment with marks, ex. 65%, or grades, ex. A, B+, for essays and projects during the term. If you pass your university exams, you graduate (get a degree), then you’re a graduate and you may want to go on to a post-graduate course.
Talking about education.
- In colleges and universities, there are usually lectures (large classes listening to the teacher and taking notes), seminars (10-20 students actively taking part in discussion etc.) and tutorials (one student or a small group, working closely with a teacher).
- A professor is a senior university academic who is a well-known specialist in his/her subject. University and colleges teachers are usually called lecturers or tutors.
